Taunton · Somerset
A kitchen floor takes water from above, heat from below and traffic all day, and in this range that points to two materials: rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, and porcelain tile. In Taunton 84% of homes are houses, most of them detached houses (31%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.
Kitchen in Taunton
Both cope with a spill left overnight; the difference is warmth and sound underfoot, and how much the base has to be levelled first.
The Somerset West and Taunton district counts 69,986 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a kitchen floor is specified here.
Detached houses are 31% of the homes in Somerset West and Taunton, and a detached kitchen in Taunton is a large, open room, often with an island and doors to the garden. A large room is where the 600 x 1200 mm porcelain tiles read well and where a wide rigid-vinyl plank does; the choice is warmth against a stone look, and the samples decide it in the room's own light.

See it on the mapLocal fact sheet
Somerset West and Taunton in the 2021 census: 69,986 households, 84% houses, 16% flats.
The accommodation figures available here describe the former Somerset West and Taunton district: 31.3% detached, 29.7% semi-detached, 22.6% terraced and only 15.6% flats. No tenure figures are quoted, because the ones on file cover a different area. TA1 and TA2 run through Taunton East, Taunton North, Taunton South, Rowbarton & Staplegrove, Bishop's Hull & Taunton West and Comeytrowe & Trull, all within the Somerset unitary authority. A stock more than four-fifths houses means whole-property work, and ground floors divide between suspended timber, whose underfloor ventilation has to stay clear, and solid slabs, whose damp-proof membrane has to be verified before any moisture-sensitive finish goes down. Stairs and landings often decide the material as much as the rooms do.
Housing in Taunton leans large — close to a third of homes detached and nearly as many semi-detached — reaching from Rowbarton and Staplegrove round to Comeytrowe, Trull and Bishop's Hull, with the villages of Lydeard, Monkton, North Curry and North Petherton beyond. Houses of that size often carry furniture that smaller ones do not.
Weight concentrated on a small point is harder on a floor than weight spread wide. A piano leg, a loaded bookcase or a chair dragged back from the table each press into the surface at one spot, and softer materials take a permanent dent where they do.

There are two candidates in the range and the room decides: rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, warmer and quieter and forgiving of an old base, or porcelain tile, harder and permanent. The kitchen guide linked below compares them.
Engineered oak is fitted in kitchens with a sealed finish and wiped-up spills, but it is not listed as waterproof and a leak under a dishwasher will mark it. Where the look of wood is wanted with the listing, the rigid-vinyl planks and herringbone are the answer.
The HSE grades slip potential by pendulum test value, with 36 or above rated low. Two of the porcelain tiles in the range carry an R11 rating in the listing; for a domestic kitchen the floor is chosen for the spill and the mop as much as for the rating.
In a period house with heavy furniture, ask about indentation resistance rather than only about scratching — they are different properties, and a floor can be strong against one and weak against the other. Wide felt pads and soft castors then protect whatever you choose.
Yes. We deliver across Taunton and Somerset from our UK warehouse, including the TA1 and TA2 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Taunton address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
